No inside knowledge right now, but I wouldn't hold my breath.Are we getting new uniforms soon?
Maybe an '05 retro if we're luckyAre we getting new uniforms soon?

These are NOT mutually exclusive. Those should be the home defaults (although touched up to be more like the slightly newer orange iterations - smaller, less blocky lettering that looks more refined), AND we should keep the white Script alternates.The script alternates are great and all, but we're nearing the end of that trend (and literally every other program has a version of them).
Bring these back and make them the home defaults.

Agreed. Ideally we would have a full, modernized set of Flying Illini unis (white, orange, blue) as our defaults and then white script alternate and orange 05 alternate.These are NOT mutually exclusive.

These look great, but I would love to see the white FIGHTING ILLINI letters made a bit less thick like their orange counterparts!Quick mockup of what I would choose to be the Illini uniforms.

Yeah, this was just a quick mockup to represent my dream jerseys. In reality the font and font size would be identical between the orange and white flying Illini style jerseys.These look great, but I would love to see the white FIGHTING ILLINI letters made a bit less thick like their orange counterparts!
This plus a 04-05 orange throwback would be my call as well. I’d use “Illinois” in the same “Fighting Illini” font on the navy uniforms as you’ve alluded to here.Quick mockup of what I would choose to be the Illini uniforms.

Essentially it is just keeping the orange Flyin' Illini and white script jerseys, and then bringing back these other two jerseys:Yeah, this was just a quick mockup to represent my dream jerseys.

While I have rather firmly moved into the camp that prefers these from now on...Essentially it is just keeping the orange Flyin' Illini and white script jerseys, and then bringing back these other two jerseys:

... I still cannot help but wonder just how sharp an orange or navy version of the Script throwbacks would look ... I think both would be awesome.
Nice! I love a mach-up, keep em comin’. I’d like to see a modern take of the 05’ uni.Quick mockup of what I would choose to be the Illini uniforms.

I'm positive that if there is a 2004-05 throwback, it will be in a modern fit and with some touch-ups to make it look a bit more modern. I don't think we'll see the billowing shorts that Deron and Dee wore all season.I think the script and Flyin Illini unis are by far the best. The baggy unis from the ’05 period were not good, but then again, I’m a Boomer.
